Archive for Nintendo Labo

When Nintendo Labo was announced, it received a mixed response, especially from the “hardcore gaming” world, bemoaning that this wasn’t at all for them, and who Nintendo was trying to cater to with such a childish toy.

Meet Jack.

Jack’s always been a creative sort. There’s been more than one occasion where he has joined Fred and I at a convention booth, and just started cranking out drawing after drawing, or conjuring Frankenstein’s Monster-esque Lego contraptions, or… paper craft steering wheels for Mario Kart 8.

And this was his excitement when the big moment finally arrived.

This is who Nintendo Labo is for. No, it’s not for the conventional gaming community, but you know what? That’s perfectly fine. Not everything has to be. Sometimes, a game (and the experience that comes with it) can be for a 9-year-old kid who likes to make stuff.
